Snow Time Showtime operator skin

Long beforeCall of Duty: Black Ops 6was released a couple months ago players have been complaining about highly stylistic skins that look ridiculously out of place in Call of Duty games. It got so bad that some players wereeven asking Activision if they could pay to have the guady skins removedfrom their matches.

Now there’s a new legendary skin up for grabs and instead of looking likea flaming green dragon with enough particles to blind anyone, this time we’ve got an anime cat girl snowboarder on our hands.

The Snow Time Showtime tracer pack is currently available in theBlack Ops 6/Warzonestore for 2000 CoD points, which is around £20. This tracer pack comes with the legendary Alvarez anime operator skin, the Polar Rip Goblin MK2 blueprint, the Halfpipe Handler Kompakt 92 blueprint, an Ice Breaker finishing move, a cute hot chocolate weapon charm, a Polar Shred spray, and a double XP token.

You would think that players would be just as angry to see a bright pink and green anime girl running around their lobbies, but it turns out that people are kind of happy with this skin. “If you use this skin, thank you,“Kind_Knowledge4856 says. “Thank you for being an easy kill. I’m blind as a bat but with this skin I can spot y’all a mile away.”

It’s true that this skin stands out rather nicely against most Black Ops 6 maps, and while it may not be realistic, at least it doesn’t have clouds of particles and smoke covering its head to make it even harder to land a headshot.

Goblin MK2 legendary blueprint

Previously the Ghost Dreadwood operator skin was so difficult to spot—especially in Warzone if you went prone or crouched in a bush—it was almost unfair. Then there was the loathed Gaia skin which was also so hard to spot it actually had to getremoved from the game and nerfed. Players spent most ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Season 6calling for the skin to get binnedbecause its dark brown colour, see-through gaps, and orange accents meant that on maps like Estate or Wasteland (which have a lot of grass and fall leaves) the skin was almost impossible to spot. But even though the Snow Time Showtime skin may be the complete opposite to these heinous additions, it’s not entirely in the clear.

To be fair this has nothing to do with the skin itself. It’s more about the players who own it. “Only people in my lobbies that have it are the super sweats,” oneplayer says. “So even though I can see them I cannot kill them.”
